CONCLUSIONBlade servers can greatly improve the reliability of
business systems. Provisioning realizes swift action and efficient resource
utilization when faults and load increases occur. In order to realize provisioning, resource management
for configuration management, pool management, and automation is indispensable.
System walker Resource Coordinator offers provisioning solutions on blade servers.
In the future, provisioning solutions will have extended support ranges and these new solutions will form the basis of autonomic provisioning.
